Purchased Nad int. amp and cd player. Now I'm zeroing in on my speakers. Originally I was going to purchase Paradigm Monitor 7s, but now I've decided to increase my budget to $1,000.

I can purchase demo B&W 603 s3 for $ 725. Is this a good deal? Also, will my NAD components (325BEE) drive them well? Also my room size is 23 x 18', will this speaker fill the room? Any other speakers you recommend I check out?

Thanks,
Derek

OK, I've out of the HiFi market for many years - since buying a Sansui AU-X901 int and a set of ADS L780 speakers many years ago - if indeed they qualify as HiFi.

Now, I'm acquiring a Rega Mira and a set of NHT THREEs. So what type of speaker cable do I need? One salesman said you need to break them in just like speakers and amps. I asked how much are the cables connected to the NHT THREEs and Mira, he said "three ninety-nine". I though he was kidding. He actually meant three-hundred ninety-nine dollars.

I'd like to hear suggestions for me.

G'day from a newbie in Australia! I recently came across a new website for a small Australian speaker company and thought the designer's forthright views deserved a wider audience. If you're wondering whether he can back them up, then the answer is a resounding 'yes'. He demo'd his base model to our audio society a few months back, using a system that we provided, with A/B comparison to B&W 805s and some small Sonus Fabers (I forget the model), both of which retail for around twice the price here.

Hello all. I'm on a very tight budget and this is the system I've been able to put together. Amplification is a PS Audio PSElite integrated amp. ADCOM GCD-575. Rotel RT-850A tuner. Speakers are AudioPro Avantek Six. Speaker cable is Vecteur and interconnects are Radio Shack Gold series. I'll soon be adding a Carver (forgot the model) power amp and using the PS as my pre-amp. I use Grado 60's and 125's for quiet times. Second system (in my tiny apartment) is a Denon PMA-750 integrated, Sony CDP-CE535 5 DISC changer and Paradigm Atom V3's.

A tour has been taking place and some customer comments are coming in. One can checkout these comments at:

Take care.

I just got an Integra DTR 5.5 receiver the other day that I got from ebay. so far so good, sound is very good, definatly better than my 20 year old nad 7130.
